Title: mileage
Post by: Ant168 on 01 December 2010, 13:51
please state year of manufacture and mileage...just want a rough idea to how long these cars run for.  I keep having small probs with my car and wondering whether it is worth still adding cash to keep it running.

2000/X 88K
It depends on a number of factors though: regular servicing, motorway miles, thrashed or not etc etc....

Title: Re: mileage
Post by: tg1 on 01 December 2010, 15:54
136k on a v reg, since 124k its had oil,filter, sparks, maf, rear beam bushes, wishbone bushes, discs pads.

no major problems, just bits need replacing, mainly bushes etc.

a car can run forever. its just do you stop spending good money maintaining a car because of its book value?

s plate 1.8t 20v
189k! :smiley:
im only the 3rd owner-both previous owners never skrimped on any thing and it shows-the bodywork is brilliant (for that milage),just the odd stone chip on the bonnet really.
she pulls like a dream (still original turbo i think),its been run on fully synth oil for years,upgraded clutch,audi TT brakes front and rear.

id love to re-map it with a milteck exhaust,but im terrified of ruining what is a brilliant,but high milage,car by 'improving' the engine.

just had the gear linkage greased,as the gears are a tad notchy,mainly when cold,it seemed to cure it,but ive a feeling the box might be needing changing in the new year.

probably just completly jinxed her with that post now!!  :grin:

Mine is 01' and on 102k at the moment, changed everything from clutch to bushes...though wondering whether it's worth fixing passenger door not locking from driver's central locking, air con, and lack of boost spike (prob cost more than the car's worth)  :undecided:
